Information Tyler R. would like to know about your pet

While I am happy to assist with any dog, I am smitten by and especially experienced with Giant Breeds. Slobber and size are qualities I have come to appreciate.

A typical day

Walks on the beach, hikes through the woods, naps on the couch, fetch at the park, jogs down the street, cuddling on the floor. You name it, I can pull it off!

Compassionate, Responsible Pet Care

Pet care experience

My name is Tyler and I'm a lifelong dog lover. Having spent the last few decades of my life with Saint Bernards, I have a special affinity for Giant Breeds, but love all creatures great and small. I spent 3 years in the Pet Industry (With Ruffwear, a manufacturer of high quality outdoor gear for dogs) and have experience with puppies, adults, and senior dogs, including the infirm and partially paralyzed. I'm a health conscious, active and compassionate individual and would be honored by the opportunity to help care for your friends in your absence. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to assisting you. Cheers!

Tyler took great care of my pup I would absolutely recommend him! She came back to me happy as can be and tuckered out.

Tyler and Emily are consistently the best: excellent communication, caring, and pet lovers squared :-) Preferred by our two poodles and cat.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
